Seattle Mini Maker Faire celebrates learning, creation, and knowledge sharing. At Seattle Mini Maker Faire, you will find exhibits created by professionals and amateurs from across the Pacific Northwest.
Some exhibits that are interactive may contain small parts and pieces, moving parts, hot soldering irons, hot glueguns, electricity, and other potentially dangerous elements. Please consider this before attending, particularly if you have young children. We welcome makers of all ages, but please ensure that young children are closely supervised at all times.

At the bottom of the “Home” page on your site, it lists Maker Workshops on June 2 and June 3 (such as “unwise microwave oven experiments” etc), but no location. Is this a mistake? If there are workshops on those days, where are they?
That post of Maker Workshops is from June 2-3, 2012, last year.
